Yes it is. I can think of two people who were hurt while on a horse because they didn't have on a helmet. One was the actor George Reeves ( he played Superman) and had a horse accident while jumping and was paralyzed the rest of his life ( he is now dead). Another was a girl I had in a special education class who suffered brain damage and was unable to speak or move after the accident. So, it is smart to wear a helmet.
